Bill > HB1220

This bill makes two primary changes to existing Indiana law regarding the Office of the Attorney General. First, it modifies how teachers are informed about their rights and protections by requiring that the annual summary letter be sent via electronic mail to teachers' listed email addresses, instead of first-class mail to their residences. The bill also requires the Department of Education to develop a method for providing the Attorney General with teachers' electronic mail addresses, which will be kept confidential. Second, the bill eliminates the requirement for the Attorney General to publish an annual newspaper notice about unclaimed property with a value over $100. Instead, the Attorney General will continue to maintain a publicly accessible, electronically searchable website or database listing names of apparent owners with unclaimed property valued at $10 or more. These changes aim to modernize communication methods, reduce print publication costs, and maintain transparency in government information sharing, while protecting individual privacy.
